Big Bang: Sheldon (Jim Parsons) of the Big Bang Theory television show loves Stephen Hawking and “The Theory.” That’s television. Notwithstanding, Hawking was so successful selling his concepts (and the global scientific community was so mesmerized for well over 30 years), it opened the way to unfortunate attitudes and behaviors. Scholars and scientists who questioned the theory were often laughed out of the room. In June 2017 that all changed when Neil Turok announced to the world, “The big bang theory is wrong.”

Not many scholars have had the courage to protest, and fewer still offer alternatives. The chortling of the big bang crowd is going to begin to quiet down.

Turok and Hawking were co-authors[1], [2], [3], [4], colleagues and personal friends. It takes great courage to tell somebody with Hawking’s place in history that there is a new footnote — he was wrong — and the aftermath is that he threw off millions of scholars, billions in research, and generations of young budding minds.

But, one must not be too-too harsh. At the time, the big bang theory seemed like the best one out there. Yet, it turned out that it had an inherent nihilism. Also, the proponents became increasingly defensive and made very little room for discussions and there was no room for the speculative and a clear disdain for those who found meaning and value within philosophies and religions.

This model is so simple Jim Parsons (Sheldon) was approached to learn about it in order to pitch it as way to begin phasing out of the television series. He could have ended the series teaching the world a very simple mathematical model of the universe that begins with the infinitesimals, Planck Length and Planck Time, and the very small units of Planck Mass and Planck Charge. Fourth graders would get it! Doubling each value over and over again, 67 times before reaching the CERN-scale, it creates a very smooth, initially-simple, homogeneous universe that quickly becomes exquisitely-complex. This group holds that these 67 doublings, steps or notations are the foundations that give rise to our physical universe.

Turok says that there are a perpetual state of big bangs. Within the the kid’s model, these are the primordial fluctuations that have been below the intellectual radar of all those scholars who hold onto big bang cosmology.”

Though hardly-known among the scholarly community, this skeletal model has well-over 1000 calculations, all simple mathematics to study. The Big Board-little universe Project follows Max Planck definition of spacetime (c = lp ÷ tp) in terms of light symmetry and continuity. Its back door is a pathway between the finite and infinite. The first moment of creation is still happening now. Each notation of the total of 202 notations is actively defining the universe. So, in that regard, Turok and his group are correct, it is perpetual, but there is no a bang per se.

The Quiet Expansion model has a total of just 202 doublings from the Planck scale to the Age of the Universe. The first moment of creation is Notation #1. The first second of creation is between notations 143 and 144. The present day, current hour, and this very second is within the 202nd notation. In this model, everything is necessarily related to everything. Continuity-and-symmetry become the penultimate.

Why didn’t the academics and scholars find this simple little model?

Planck Units: In the six years from conception to publishing, 1899-1905, Max Planck worked with five universal physical constants to define an essential reality and base platform for measurement. The result was four Planck base units: Planck Time, Planck Length, Planck Mass and Planck Charge that were “…properties of nature and not from any human construct.” Although engaged by many over time, the Planck numbers did not command basic respect across the entire scientific community. Not until 2001 when Frank Wilczek (MIT, Nobel laureate 2004) wrote a series of three articles for Physics Today, Scaling Mt. Planck, did I, II, III, these Planck units begin to move beyond numerology into wide-scale acceptability.

By that time, the big bang theory had gained the high ground. Nobody thought to follow simple nested or combinatorial geometries back to the Planck Length. Nobody thought to multiply the Planck units by 2. It took a huge amount of naïveté and almost no knowledge of cosmological models to bias one’s point of view. It also required discounting our commonsense view promulgated by Isaac Newton that space and time are absolute. In so doing, a more relational model as suggested in 1715 by Leibniz could be entertained.
